    How to train your flock?

    I am at a loss and a little frustrated with the vil-hens and anti-heroos! They are over 12 weeks now, all feathered out except for the cockerels tailfeathers, which are still fuzzy (even though one of them has been crowing for 2 weeks now. Previously, when they foraged I was with them outside...

    First time outside and now more questions!

    The Vill-hens turned 3 weeks on 4/4/22. I had to upgrade their brooder to something they cannot escape and let them play outside in their future run. They had a blast, though the ants they found were completely massacred. This is the first time raising chickens, and using online to find...
